Don't know that I was ever "upset". "Frustrated" is more accurate. Or "fed up", maybe.

And this mentality is exactly why this forum is dead. If someone doesn't know the game, how is throwing them to the wolves going to make them want to play more? How does "go away" foster anything other than ill will? And if you act like a jerk from the outset (which I'll note is not an attack on you but rather, as you say, a part of the game) how can new players be expected to enjoy it.
Yes, mafia is a game about manipulation and deception. But it's a very fine line between the fun aspect of that idea and the abusive aspect. Saying you or the community at-large aren't not the problem is not an answer. Everything needs to be reexamined. And seeing as the community at large has been an issue since BEFORE you even came here, it's as good a starting point as any.
